Children Going Home: The Re-Unification of Families
First published in 1998, this Darlington child care study looks at the return experiences of children looked after by local authorities. It shows that although the great majority of children go back to their families and home communities, little is known about the process. How can professionals and carers make the transition as easy as possible? The book takes forward ideas first reported in the Dartmouth publication, going home: The return of ch…

Transforming’ Children's Services? Social work, neoliberalism and the ‘modern’ world

Dispelling Misconceptions about Looked after Children
Portrayals of looked after children often rely on misconceptions about their needs, experiences and development. While their disadvantaged status should not be ignored, poor outcomes are often emphasised at the expense of good ones and pejorative stereotypes can prevail. In light of two recent publications, Care Matters (DfES, 2006) and Handle with Care (Sergeant, 2006), A D Hare and Roger Bullock seek to dispel some of these misconceptions and p…

Looked‐after children placed in externally purchased residential care
In the desire to improve outcomes for children in care, the issue of those individuals placed by local authorities in residential establishments run by external agencies has become especially salient. In addition to questions of quality and value for money, there are concerns about children becoming detached from local services, especially as many of the placements selected are outside the local authorities' geographical boundaries. This study lo…
The Dissemination of Research Findings in Children's Services: Issues and Strategies
The dissemination of authoritative research knowledge is essential for professional development in children's services, yet there is little evidence available to suggest how this might be best achieved. The previous article (Price et al, 2006) shows that when research findings are presented in a variety of ways, the products are valued by professionals but more needs to be done if success is to broaden. In this article by Roger Bullock two questi…
Social Control in Organizations
The problem of social control has aroused much discussion among sociologists as it raises fundamental questions about the nature and organization of human societies. One important tradition of sociological thought, influenced by Durkheim and Parsons, has examined the problem of 'how do societies hold together?' and tried to answer the question of why social control seems to be so effective despite the numerous inherent conflicts and tensions in s…

Changes in the nature and sequence of placements experienced by children in care, 1980–2010
This article compares the nature and sequence of placements experienced by children entering care in England (and in one case Wales) in 1980 and in 2010. The two samples comprise sequential admissions from a selected date. In each case, results are presented for those who left care early (within six months) and those who were still there 12 months after entry. It was found that residential care was widely used in 1980, both as an initial placemen…

The Research Background to the Law on Parental Access to Children in Care
This paper highlights some significant issues regarding the family links of children absent in local authority care raised in recent child-care research. It shows how research and legislative change can be linked constructively. The relevant sections of the Children Act 1989 reflect the successive efforts of the Department of Health to incorporate research messages into child care policy and practice with regard to providing a satisfactory legal …

The use of Looking After Children in child protection
